1 A Call to Honor the Promises To Tribal Nations in the Federal Budget April 19, 2013 National Congress of American Indians As Congress and the Administration debate elements of various budget proposals for fiscal year (FY) 2014 and beyond, leaders of tribal nations call on decision-makers to ensure that the promises made to Indian Country are honored in the federal budget. Although the United States, businesses, and workers hoped that an economic recovery was finally taking off, the nation will begin absorbing automatic spending cuts known as sequestration in the next few months, creating an economic drag. The sequester cuts pose particular hardship for Indian Country and the surrounding communities who rely on tribes as employers, where the recession struck especially hard. 1 Tribal leaders urge Congress to protect the federal funding that fulfills the trust responsibility to tribes in the face of difficult choices. Opportunity to Make the Right Choices In March 2013, Congress passed a continuing resolution for the remainder of FY 2013, avoiding a government shutdown but leaving in place deep sequestration cuts, including for tribal programs. The House and Senate have passed their respective budget resolutions for FY 2014, but the competing blueprints provide very different prospects for fulfillment of trust obligations. Upcoming negotiations provide an opportunity for Congress to honor the trust and treaty obligations in the federal budget. Congress will need to raise the debt ceiling in the next few months to prevent the United States from default and to avoid an economic crisis. Congress must also enact FY 2014 appropriations bills. Tribes urge Congress to end sequestration and make investments in programs that fund trust and treaty obligations, support tribal self-determination, and promote economic recovery in Indian Country. Contracts Signed by Our Ancestors The sequester reductions and other cuts to tribal programs undermine Indian treaty rights and obligations treaties which were ratified under the Constitution and considered the supreme law of the land. The underpinning of federal spending in Indian Country is based in the treaties that tribes ancestors signed with the US government. At its most basic level, the economic success of the United States is built upon the land and natural resources that originally belonged to tribal nations. In exchange for land, the United States agreed to protect tribal treaty rights, lands, and resources, including provision of certain services for American Indian and Alaska Native tribes and villages, which is known as the federal Indian trust responsibility. Indiscriminate cuts sacrifice not only these trust obligations, it also thwarts the ability of tribes to promote economic growth, or plan for the future of Native children and coming generations. Fulfillment of many of these duties and obligations resides in the discretionary portion of the federal budget, which will be impacted severely by the 2013 sequester and expected reductions due to the Budget Control Act caps. Already, law enforcement, education, health care, to name just a few, have been historically underfunded and have failed to meet the needs of tribal citizens. The US Commission on Civil Rights documented the disparate funding to Indian Country in its report, Quiet Crisis. 2 1 Economic Policy Institute, Different race, Different recession: American Indian Unemployment in 2010, November 18, US Commission on Civil Rights, Quiet Crisis: Federal Funding and Unmet Need in Indian Country, July 2003 Page 1 of 7
2 Federal Cuts Disproportionately Impact Indian Country In their role as governments, tribes deliver all the range of services that other governments provide. Tribal governments maintain the power to determine their own governance structures and enforce laws through police departments and tribal courts. Tribes provide social programs, first-responder services, education, workforce development, and natural resource management. They also build and maintain a variety of infrastructure, including roads, bridges, housing, and public buildings. Yet, tribes need adequate resources to exercise their self-determination and serve as effective governments. Government funds provide much-needed investments in tribal physical, human, and environmental capital. For many tribes, a majority of tribal governmental services is financed by federal sources. Tribes lack the tax base and lack parity in tax authority to raise revenue to deliver services. If federal funding is reduced sharply for state and local governments, they may choose between increasing their own taxes and spending for basic services or allowing their services and programs to take the financial hit. On the other hand, many tribes have limited ability to raise substantial new revenue, especially not rapidly enough to cover the reduction in services from the across the board reductions of the FY 2013 sequestration. Figure 1 Sources of State and Local Government General Revenue: 2010 Charges 16.4% Other 8.0% Taxes 50.7% Federal Support 24.9% Sources of Reservation Government Revenue, MT State Schools & grants 6.7% Other Gov/ Private 9.3% Earned Revenue 21.7% Fiduciary 1.1% Federal Support 61.2% Sources: US Census Bureau: 2010 Annual Surveys of State and Local Government Finances and Monetary Contributions of Reservations to the State of Montana: The Bureau of Business and Economic Research School of Business, University of Montana States and localities finance their own areas of spending and state and local taxes provide the majority of the funding for most of their services. The Census of Governments shows that half of state and local government revenue is from their own taxes, while a quarter of their revenues come from the federal government. Like other governments, there is much diversity among tribes and regions in the proportion of federal sources of revenue to tribal taxes and tribal enterprise profits. As an example, Figure 1 shows tribal revenue sources for Montana s reservations compared to the average state and local government revenue sources. More than 60 percent of the revenue for tribal governmental services in Montana is from federal sources, 2.5 times higher than for state and local governments. Page 2 of 7
3 Cuts Will Impact Regional Economies Not only will reductions to discretionary programs violate the trust obligations to tribes, but cuts will hurt the regional economies in which tribes are major players. A tribal government in Southeast Alaska, representing more than 27,000 tribal citizens, attracted between $25 million and $27 million in annual funding to the region to support 200 programs and services that enhance the lives and well-being of tribal citizens, families, and communities. These services affect employment, health, education, and cultural identity. The $22.5 million in direct expenditures generated an additional $9 million in indirect and induced economic activity, for an estimated total regional impact of $31.6 million. 3 Reductions to Bureau of Indian Affairs, Head Start, as well as to Departments of Justice and Education will exact a heavy toll on the region s economy. State 14% Other 4% Federal Sources 82% In 2009, the five tribes of Idaho provided total employment statewide for 10,676 jobs, including multiplier effects. 4 The tribes report that they receive federal government revenues to support tribal government operations, health services, education, fish and wildlife projects, law enforcement, environmental quality, economic development programs and projects, and other activities. U.S. federal agencies serving as funding sources include the Bureau of Indian Affairs, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, U.S. Department of Energy, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Bonneville Power Administration, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and U.S. Department of Transportation. Those federal funds represent "high powered" spending when they enter the local economies, and provide a relatively large economic impact. 5 In Oklahoma, 38 tribal nations have a $10.8 billion impact on the state every year, supporting an estimated 87,000 jobs, or five percent of all jobs in the state. Interrupting tribal revenue flow is likely to increase unemployment for the region. In Washington State, a recent economic analysis showed that, in total, $3.5 billion of the total gross state product can be attributed to the activity on American Indian reservations. Also, tribes paid $1.3 billion in payroll to more than 27,000 Washington residents, many of whom were non-indian. Although some tribes have implemented strategies that enhance economic development for their communities to supplement federal sources, that does not supplant the federal government s duty to fulfill its trust responsibility.

4 Census Bureau data show that each employed American Indian supported more than three others who were not employed. By contrast, the proportion for the entire US population is about one to one. Tribal leaders and planners have been working to address the economic inequity represented in the employment-to-population ratio. Figure 3 60% 40% 20% 29% 47% 43% 60% The labor force participation rate the proportion of able-bodied civilians of working age that are working also shows much unmet potential for tribal citizens to enter into the economy. Four of 10 Indians receive a paycheck, versus nearly two-thirds of total population. Sequester Impact on Employment 0% Employment to population ratio Indians on reservations Labor Force Participation Rate total Sequester reductions in FY 2013 and beyond will likely affect employment in Indian Country more harshly. Figure 4 shows industry sector of people who are employed for the entire population compared to the Native population on reservations. A third of Native people are employed in education, health care, and social services delivery. Many of the health, education, and social services in Indian Country receive federal funds, including through the Indian Health Service, Bureau of Indian Education, Impact Aid and through the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Education, health care & social assistance Public administration Arts, entertnmt, & food services Retail trade Construction Manufacturing Ag, forestry, fishing/hunting, and mining Transportation, warehousing, and utilities Prof, scientific, mgmt and admin and waste Other services, except public admin Finance, insurance, & real estate Figure 4: Industry for the Civilian Employed Population Wholesale trade Information Source: American Community Survey 29.4% 22.1% 17.7% 4.8% 15.3% 8.9% 8.2% 11.5% 8.0% 7.1% 4.3% 11.0% 4.0% 1.9% 3.4% 5.1% 2.9% 10.4% AIAN on Reservations 2.7% 4.9% Total Population, US 2.6% 7.0% 0.8% 3.1% 0.7% 2.4% The second largest sector employing Indian Country is public administration. One out of five employed American Indians on tribal lands works in public administration, compared to one out of 20 for the entire country. Page 4 of 7
5 Education Federal dollars also help pay for education in Indian Country a major function that makes up a basic building block of the economy. A majority of Native students attend public schools. During the school year, there were 378,000 AI/AN (alone) students in the U.S. public school system. During the same period, there were 49,152 students in Bureau of Indian Education Schools. The impact of sequestration will vary district to district and state to state for school districts. Federal revenues vary in proportion for overall school operating budgets. Those districts where the federal revenues are a larger portion of their overall operating budget will feel a deeper impact. Figure 5 shows a map of school districts nationally and their respective proportions of federal revenue for their school budgets, with the darker blue districts having federal revenues chipping in more than 50 percent of their budgets. Figure 5: School Districts: Federal Funding as a Percentage of Total Revenue 6 Across the nation, federal dollars represented 12.3 percent of school revenues in FY10, on average. In most school districts, education is funded largely by state and local governments, with the federal government contributing between 10 to 20 percent. However, schools on Indian reservations and military bases are on tax-exempt land. Unable to raise funds from taxes, Indian reservation and military 6 Map data on federal revenue as a percentage of operating budgets is from the report by the American Association of School Administrators, Federal Public Education Revenues and the Sequester, November Reservation boundaries added by NCAI.

6 schools depend more heavily on federal aid. In addition to funds for poor and disabled children, schools on federal land also receive Impact Aid, intended to make up for the lack of property-tax revenue. Immediate Cuts: Impact Aid Nearly the entire top 25 districts nationally who are most reliant on federal funding are on or adjacent to Indian reservations, which is largely due to the funding received through Impact Aid. Unlike other Department of Education programs, Impact Aid is not forward funded, meaning the funding cuts will take effect in the middle of the current school year. The over $60 million in cuts to Impact Aid will directly affect the operation of 710 schools and the services provided to approximately 115,000 Native students. Many of these schools are counting on those funds to meet the basic needs of students and to pay teacher salaries this spring, potentially forcing districts to make wrenching, mid-year adjustments. In New Mexico for example, the Gallup McKinley County Public Schools would lose about $2 million of the funds from Impact Aid, which could affect as many as 6,700 students who live on tribal lands. Impact Aid funds make up 35 percent of that district s total budget. Reducing Core Governmental Services Sequester reductions for FY 2013 in the Department of the Interior mean tribes would lose almost $130 million, impacting areas such as human services, law enforcement, schools, economic development, and natural resources. These reductions impact the core of tribal governmental services for tribal citizens. In the Indian Health Service, sequestration is estimated to result in about 3,000 fewer inpatient admissions and 804,000 fewer outpatient visits provided in IHS and tribal hospitals and clinics. IHS may lack resources to pay for staffing and operations of five health care facilities that tribes have built with their own resources, with a total investment of almost $200 million. All other federal programs that serve the health of our nation s populations with the highest need, such as Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, the Children s Health Insurance Program, and Veterans Administration, will be exempt from funding reductions. But not the Indian Health Service. IHS should be exempt as well. Federal agencies providing important funding for Indian Country include: Department of the Interior: Bureau of Indian Affairs and Bureau of Indian Education (Interior appropriations bill) Department of Health and Human Services: Indian Health Service, Administration for Children and Families (Interior and Labor, HHS, Education appropriations bills) Department of Education (Labor, HHS, Education appropriations bill) Department of Justice: Office of Justice Programs, State and Local Law Enforcement, Office of Violence Against Women, Community Oriented Policing Services (Commerce, Justice, Science appropriations bill) Housing and Urban Development: Indian Housing Block Grant, Indian Community Development Block Grant (Transportation, Housing appropriations bill) Page 6 of 7
7 Impeding Recovery Examining the trends in poverty rates on and off tribal lands is informative to the debate on how to address fiscal challenges. From 1990 to 2007, tribes reduced the percentage of tribal citizens in poverty on tribal lands by more than one-third. The poverty rate for all reservation American Indians and Alaska Natives (AIAN) in 1990 was 51 percent (see figure 6). That dropped to 39 percent in 2000, and was recently lowest at 33 percent in the 2008 Census American Community Survey (ACS) estimate. That has gone back up to 40 percent in the 2011 ACS 1-year estimate. The poverty rate for AIAN nationally, on and off reservation lands, was 20 percentage points lower in 1990 than the on-reservation rate, 10 percentage points lower in 2000, and 10 percentage points lower in So tribes dramatically lowered the gap between reservation and total AIAN poverty, but the recession halted the narrowing of the gap. Figure 6 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% Percentage of Population in Poverty 51% 39% 37% 40% 31% 26% 27% 30% 13% 12% 14% 16% Census ACS US, Total Total AIAN in US AIAN on Reservations Source: U.S. Census Bureau, 2011 American Community Survey 1 and 3 year estimates, 1990 Census, 2000 Census Tribes were reversing what were once considered insurmountable challenges, due to increased selfdetermination, but the recession undermined some of those gains. Tribes want to continue improving economic conditions so that young Native people will want to return to economies that provide work on their homelands. Conclusion Reductions in funding to meet trust obligations to tribal nations public safety, education, health care, social services, and tribal governmental services are reductions to high powered spending for local economies, which will impede economic recovery in addition to causing increased poverty and hardship for Indian Country. The stakes are high for tribal governmental services and programs in the federal budget that support the trust responsibility, only some of which are highlighted here, and trust obligations should be protected from further reductions. Tribal programs, as part of the discretionary budget, have already done their part to reduce the deficit through the bipartisan Budget Control Act. Continued cuts will have severe consequences for every tribal citizen. Tribes urge the President and Congress to uphold the solemn promises of the trust responsibility throughout the federal budget in FY 2014 and future years. Page 7 of 7
